Recommended Solutions
6 حلولCheck for App Updates
🤖 AI Analysis
"The user recently updated their phone's software and the issue started recently. This strongly suggests a software conflict or bug introduced by the update, making checking for app and OS updates highly relevant."
Clear Camera App Cache and Data
🤖 AI Analysis
"The error message 'Camera failed to start' and the black screen followed by an error are common symptoms of corrupted app data. Clearing the cache and data is a standard troubleshooting step for app-specific issues."
Check App Permissions
🤖 AI Analysis
"Software updates can sometimes reset or alter app permissions. It's possible the camera app lost its permission to access the camera during the recent update, leading to the error."
Test with Another Camera App
🤖 AI Analysis
"This helps to isolate whether the problem is with the default camera app or with the phone's camera hardware/system-level access. If a third-party app works, it points more towards the default app or its configuration."
Restart Your Phone
🤖 AI Analysis
"A simple restart can resolve many temporary software glitches, including those that might arise after a software update. It's a quick and easy first step."
Contact Manufacturer Support
🤖 AI Analysis
"While a hardware issue is possible, the recent software update and the specific error message make software-related causes more probable. This is a good fallback if software solutions fail."
